First Hair cut

I was waiting to cut Christopher's hair until after his pictures and the blessing - so he would look like a baby - because now he looks a little older. I just trimmed around his ears and the back of his neck. It still was quite a bit of hair. I do think he looks better now.

Baby Blessing

We blessing Christopher D. Petersen on February 21, 2010 in my parents' ward in Smithfield. We had a nice luncheon after with all the family. Christopher was very good and slept through all of sacrament meeting and the lunch - so I could eat. Then we took some pictures. It was a nice event.

JC Penny Pictures

I don't know how well these will look, since they are a lower quality, but this is what we got from Christopher at JC Penny. I think they turned out pretty good, and we even got one smile. After that he wasn't too happy.

Smiles

Well, Christopher is trying to smile when he feels like it. We don't get very many, but he's sure cute when he does. He's still not sure what to think of his bath. I weighed him at the Dr and he is now 12 lbs 11 oz (that was with clothes on) - and he is 6 1/2 weeks old. So I'd say he is growing :)

More than Meets the Eye

We've got a couple of Transformers at our house. That is all Damon and Tyler talk about and act out. We've made a Bumble Bee car out of a box and they take turns 'transforming.' All of our Hot Wheels cars are now Transformers and the boys race and crash them around and fight the bad guys, lead by Megatron. Doug has looked on You Tube and let them watch some of the old Transformer Cartoons, so that's the latest phase that we're going through right now.

Sick

By the way, the boys are sick again. Damon started last Sat/Sun and Tyler now started his yesterday (wednesday). So let's just hope Christopher stays healthy. Just colds, but they have had fevers too. oh well, that's life.

Surprise

Tuesday afternoon I answered the door to find a giant gift basket for us. It was quite a fun surprise. It was from Halliburton (one benefit of working for a large company I guess). Damon and Tyler thought it was pretty neat and wanted to open and eat just about everything. I let them choose one thing each to have a little treat. Damon choose the chocolate pretzels and Tyler choose the 100 Grand candy bars. Thanks Halliburton!

1 month old

Well, Christopher is 1 month old today, he is slowly getting on a more normal schedule. Some days are better than others though. He's getting close to smiling - the ones we get are still more on accident than from a reaction to us.

Here are a few other pictures: During some of our recent snow falls the boys have had fun being "snowplows" as they help me shovel the driveway. They have their own little red shovels. -sorry it's dark, we went out at night.
